Certified ExpertA.This will usually lead to the death of the plant. They don't switch well from soil to water like this. They can be kept alive, but they will not thrive as if they were in soil. You will have to change with water out every two days or so, and use liquid fertilizer, just a drop, every time that you change the water. They will also need a fair amount of light.
I think the easiest thing will be to try again but leave them in soil after this round. This will be much easier to care for then keeping them in water alone.

Brooklyn, NYQ.coco plant liners – bring in for winter
I have an outdoor hanging herb garden with a coco liner. Can I reuse it next year? should I bring it in for the winter?

November 16, 2018A.Yes they are reusable unless one of the plants was diseased. I would store them outside just for convenience's sake plus there may be a few bugs or spiders hiding in the liner.

August 30, 2019A.I think it makes good sense to use landscape fabric to line the bottom. This helps soil from falling out the drainage holes. I hope the following article has useful information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/hgen/creating-an-herb-wall-garden.htm

Certified ExpertA.Yes, you can grow herbs indoors with a grow light. The light that is in your stove light now might be sufficent. You can try it and see.

Certified ExpertA.Herbs are a great choice; they generally like poor soil (well-draining) and sunlight.

The great thing about herbs is, with proper lighting, you can grow them indoors all year long.Was this answer useful?00 - Asked by

10034Q.Should I Try To Remove Mint Seeds From Indoor Herb Garden Before It Sprouts?
I recently planted an indoor herb garden, despite having a very bad record with plants. One of the herbs is mint and now I've been reading that mint basically doesn't play well with others. Of the six things that I planted, five have sprouted. Not the mint. It's at the end next to the thyme. Should I try to take out the mint now? If I do, will it hurt the other seedlings (thyme, basil, oregano, dill and tarragon) if I try to redistribute them in the box? What should I do?

Certified ExpertA.I would wait until they sprout to start snipping them. Do not pull them out.
It is best to start each plant in its own, individual container to avoid competition, however, some herbs will grow well together. This article will help:
